About Summer
Summer Batini is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with seven years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses specific concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, and guilt and shame.
She offers straightforward, practical support for people carrying heavy feelings from relationships, faith, or past events. Sessions focus on understanding what the feelings mean now and learning concrete ways to respond to them. Summer draws on a few different therapy styles to match the situation rather than using one fixed method.
Her work often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered approaches and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness. That mix helps people notice painful thoughts without acting on them, clarify values, and practice small changes that fit daily life. Motivational interviewing strategies are used when someone wants help making a change but feels stuck.
Summer has experience with first responders and veterans and understands how repeated exposure to trauma and high-stress roles affects daily functioning. She also helps people dealing with separation, blended family issues, eating or body image struggles, and the loneliness that can follow big life changes.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative and grounded. She helps people talk through practical steps, build coping skills, and consider what matters next. To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals and then schedules a first session.
How Summer uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those thoughts dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values, which can help with guilt, shame, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person can better understand their own experience. This approach supports self-directed change and is useful when someone needs to sort through complex emotions about identity or relationships.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or who struggle with impulsive responses to shame or stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as new goals emerge and different skills become useful.
